Yes, it's coming your way very soon!

We are excited to see so high level of fan community anticipation for the upcoming new Volvo FH release.

Currently the new truck model is in final stages of tuning and testing. This also involves going through final approval step with the brand owner, so the exact release date is not fully in our hands now. We feel very confident though now that the release date of the 1.7 update is not very far away.

We are in the final stretch, and no doubt you may have noticed already that our community beta testers started to share their thrill from the new Volvo FH in screenshot form via World of Trucks website. The website has great momentum still as more and more fantastic images are getting uploaded and more and more accounts are being created. And we are just starting to scratch the surface of what kind of opportunities the service will bring.

To fuel your hunger a little more, let us show you some dev-made shots of the new truck. Stay tuned, and see you soon on the roads in the new Volvo FH. Enjoy!

no way i mean volvos fh16 are special trucks they have their special grill and badges in the fornt end like in that part this is write globettroter they came with fh16 write or fh16 750 depending on the model plus the headlight should be black and the 750 version only exist on the fh16 line so it needs those details

"Currently the new truck model is in final stages of tuning and testing."They might change stuff up, but have anyone thought of personal preferences pre orderd from the factory ? Because you seen one truck with a crome grill, doesent mean all have that. just saying :)

It´s something really easy to solve go to:http://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/uk-market/en-gb/trucks/volvo-fh-series/Pages/the-new-volvo-fh.aspxas u can they have three tipes of engine:D13C: 420, 460, 500, 540 hpD16G: 540, 600, 700, 750 hpD13K: 460 hp, Euro 6and the ones that uses de D16G engine a 16 liter engine are knowed as FH16 not just FH likes the ones that use the D13C and D13K and thay have their special features just like the silver grillhttp://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/uk-market/en-gb/trucks/volvo-fh-series/fh16/Pages/Default.aspx

nope the only ones that have silver/chrome grilles are the FH16 models as you can see on volvo´s website:http://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/uk-market/en-gb/trucks/volvo-fh-series/Pages/the-new-volvo-fh.aspxthe fh16 modelhas silver grill, black headlights and the "globettroter box" has in case of 540 and 600 version just fh16 write and the xl in case of the top cabin and the 750 version comes with fh16 750 on the "globettroter box" plus the xl of the cabin i just don´t know abot the 700hp one

The new Volvo FH looks great! I'm really curious about the 1.7 update and hope I won't be too disappointed (http://blog.scssoft.com/2013/10/euro-truck-simulator-2-trucking-handbook.html?showComment=1382106998873#c5659869629517609680). Thank you for everything!

actually i would much rather prefer completing the existing models and include the left out accessories like side skirts for 6x2/6x4, spoilers for XL and L versions of the cabs and also adding them as an ACCESSORY not included with the cab and exhausts for 6x2/6x4. not to mention ugliness of those standard euro wheels.

What is your f*cking problem dude. Everyone is nagging SCS for the FH, they bring you this monster of a truck, and everyone f*cks his ass off nagging about the grille. It is in the final test stage. And you are such a truck nerd you will not like the new FH because the grille is black? Dude...

I do hope that the new Volvo is going to be more complete in the customization department (more demands on my part, who would of thought it?) For example 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 chassis config with AND without side skirts. If any of you so called testers want to leak images of what I just said above, be my guest please!

When all is said and done and we are all driving the new Volvo, god help SCS for any future truck announcements they make.... "I WANT IT NOW, GIMME GIMME GIMME!" It is going to happen and i'll be there giving it large too, you have been warned SCS :P Haha

Fuck off N4GIX, originally I was trying to inject some humour into the blog. But if peeps cant take a joke, misinterpret and want to bring me down to their level, then so be it. I can name call with the best of em.

WTF is your prob? He is making a senseful and humoristic comment between these childish noobs complaining about they want the FH sooo badly or the so called truck specialists who complain about a fuckin black grille.

This is a Volvo FH not FH16 ... so colors of grill are right !!! Great work SCS , I see you included the truck pedals , excellent ! hope you inlclude the pedals on the rest of the trucks too , keep it up !! Thanks for all this updates !

About the grill. Its probably just like the other trucks, when you switch to the V8 engines the V8 emblems come out and what not, probably same here, different grill depending on engine option. People need to chill... be damn glad you get a new truck! I'm mostly excited about the new interior! :) After all, thats what you're looking at all day. You know... atleast those of who can back up a trailer without exterior cameras. ;)

I usually don't comment here. I'm not wanting anything, I just like to thank you guys in SCS for making all this. I know, some fans are all the time complaining, but please, take your time and make this game good! We have in Finnish this proverb, that roughly translates to English "The good comes slowly". If you rush, it ain't going to be good! Keep good work up guys, we wait!

AGREE, pls make some new wheels, sideskirts, and exhausts (as i noticed, not all the trucks can have exhausts , just 2x4 configurations, or just when sideskirts are installed, i don't understand WHY)Anyway, till now, a very good job was done, hoping they don't stop soon with updates and new features, keep up the good work!

Congratulations SCS ,Fuel consumption changes as the engine of the truck ?Could include changing the type of trucks that has the trucks ? Type drive axle in front of the auxiliary shaft .Bring the game FH 13 with less powerful engines with Volvo out early in the game .And with each new patch to bring a new wheel , a new accessory or even a hub of original licensed brands . For each day let the game closer to reality , also bring the game to see their employees .Correct amount of freight , because all the truckers if they won the game as millionaires would pay and so on .I have many ideas for improvement, but what I can say is that during that one year playing it evolved very , very much , being almost another game from the version 1.1.1 of the game .I have seen progress with the appearance of the 6x2 and 6x4 trucks in transit , something that was not in version 1.4.x.Panel with Volvo turbo pressure .

@ Anonymous October 22, 2013 at 1:16 AM or any one who drives real trucks:

Do you think gears in ETS 2 realistic?, and what is the proper way to upshift and downshift?. I am asking this because a truck driver told me that you can drive on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear for a while before upshifting, but in ETS 2 within seconds it reach max torque in low gears.Thanks for your help.

Drive with huge American trucks through California and deliver goods on time and goods. By SCS Software, developer of the Euro Truck Simulator series, now comes the next exciting simulation. Faithful tractors and typical American cities and landscapes accompany you on the way through California.

Features: • Developed by SCS Software (Euro Truck Simulator series) • Drive with huge American trucks through California • Typical American landscapes and cities are waiting for you • Basic Edition - extensions will follow

I hope it's true... as long as the California map is as big as current ETS2 map, meaning it would have lot of detail, and also meaning that driving in the whole american map (I guess with purchasable DLCs) will be a looooong journey. Which again means more fun.

I really hope they allow us to buy and customize our own trailers in ATS game, and also do other jobs that are not only pick in A deliver in B, for example pick gasoil and deliver it at several gas stations (which would be cool with your own trailer).

Now about the Volvo, great work SCS, can't wait to drive it. I hope you can replace the DAF in the future.

Help!!I am trying to subscribe and the front page layout does not like me!!! It tells me my Product key reply is in the wrong format?? I have tried to use capitals, not use capitals.. I have put in a '-' between each group and then tried without adding a '-'. Then I cannot see the box for a password but added it by using the tab key. Then to add insult to injury I cannot tick the boxes at the end of the page where we accept rems and conditions plus I believe updates, but I cannot complete that product key stage.. I also have the latest Going Esat upgrade, can I use that product key

Will you be doing a Volvo Truck Driving Simulator now? I wish Scania TDS was greenlighted on Steam, I'd like to purchase it but I prefer having my games on Steam. Everybody, go vote on Steam to greenlight Scania TDS!

Btw is it possible for you to implement an auto configure setting in the next patch? I've played with numerous settings but am still puzzled to know if thats the max I can go? So an auto configure option would set the optimum game settings depending on a user's hardware.What say guys?

Does anyone know if there is an open to public beta test with this truck on it. I'm a truck guy and I'm a fan of Volvo. I would love to test this baby out. I really cant wait lol. I'm American so I really can't wait for the North American truck simulator.

SCS, I am enjoying this new truck. I am so happy that you guys are putting your maximum effort into these vehicles, it is something that most companies don't do, especially ones your size. Excellent work!
